There’s magic in the way the light dances across these waters. ✨

James Stenabaugh perfectly captured the way Yarmouth Bar transforms into a living postcard when the sun hits just right. 😍 Some places don’t need filters or fancy captions; their beauty speaks for itself.

Come watch the colours change with the tide. Stay for the way time seems to slow down!

A stunning new addition to our growing mural scene!🎨✨

We’re absolutely loving Danielle Mahood’s latest masterpiece on the corner of Main and Chestnut Street——another vibrant splash of creativity that makes our region even more special! 🌟

Huge thanks to Danielle and the Yarmouth Façade Society for bringing more beauty to our community! 🫶

I’m officially finished the Professional Center mural, my largest one to date at 33ft tall! I don’t claim to be good at naming my pieces but I’m calling this one “Ebb & Flow”.

A huge thanks to Syd and Sebastian for being amazing clients to work with (and Ian for being on call for all my needs!), along with the Yarmouth Façade Society. Such a great program and opportunity for business owners in Yarmouth. Also a big thank you to everyone that has been so positive and supportive of my endeavours, I read all the comments and see all the waves and honks! Please feel free to like and share, word of mouth is my best advertisement! On to the next project:)
